..everything in the lake eats them.
the truth .....earthworm scent draws all the species in the water , they can smell them in really dirty super low visibility conditions ,seen bream find them in water so muddy you could almost walk on it ....

We pick night crawlers after the first spring nighttime thunderstorms.It has to be the "just"right conditions in the right area there's only a few spots to find them one is my buddies farm yard down the road. Some years they never surface,this year they did so we picked about 60 dozen,I keep them in a fridge,year round just put water and new dirt in on occasion.
We always have crawlers in the boat...everything in the lake eats them.

I knew a guy in the Marines that would water his yard all night long,(now this was in the high desert in Southern Calif.), then about an hour before daylight use a worm shocker set up he had and rack the worms up with his hand. Always showed up to the fishing hole with a coffee can full...This was back in the mid 1970's

tried that myself in Pa. as a kid after it rained , didnt ketch many but it was fun to try to shock them up , the best night hunts were in a plowed field across the street after it rained "stalking them" and let me tell you something about a nightcrawler , they keep that little worm foot in the burrow and when the light or the vibrations hit them as you approach, They go faster than greased lightening back in the hole !
sure did get terribly muddy loading up a coffee can with them a few times and mom did NOT have much of a sense of humor about it either
